My name is Anna, and I was born and raised in Barcelona. I work as an officially licensed tour guide, primarily in English, but also in French, Spanish, and Catalan, my mother language. I hold a university degree in Tourism from the University of Barcelona and have lived in the UK, France, and Germany. I live with my husband and our three daughters (19,16,14) in the quiet district of Sant Gervasi in Barcelona. I previously worked at the official Spanish Tourism Office in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), where I was responsible for promoting Catalan tourism. I organized trips for travel agents and German journalists to various tourist destinations in Catalonia, such as the Costa Brava, the Pyrenees, and Barcelona. I also worked on the organization of an important cultural event that took place in Barcelona in 2004, the Universal Forum of Cultures. It hosted more than 3 million people during its 141-day duration. In 2014, I had the brilliant idea to combine my knowledge and passion for art, culture, and the city of Barcelona with my love for interacting with people by becoming a local guide. Being a tour guide is an enjoyable challenge; I continuously participate in programs to deepen my knowledge of history, art, and culture, staying updated on everything happening in the city, including cultural events, exhibitions, and the latest bars, restaurants, and concerts. I invite you to discover the different faces of Barcelona through my tours. Each district has its own unique character that deserves to be explored: from Gràcia, Montjuïc, Gothic quarter to the Eixample. If you’ve already been to Barcelona and would like to rediscover it, choose the tour that appeals to you the most. Since every person or group has unique interests, I customize my tours and explanations accordingly. Only licensed guides are allowed to give explanations inside museums and monuments, and we can skip the museum entrance lines. I look forward to sharing my city, its surroundings, and the rich Catalan culture with you. ANNA If you see that I don't have availability on the calendar, write to me anyway, and I'll try to find a gap in my schedule:) -Official Guide License (#1130) issued by the Catalan Government, granting access to skip the line at most monuments. -Bachelor's Degree in Tourism (Hospitality and Tourism) from CETT, University of Barcelona. -Bachelor's Degree in Social Education from the University of Barcelona. -Additional studies focused on landmarks such as Sagrada Familia, Sant Pau Hospital, and the history of Catalonia and Barcelona, with specialization in figures like Gaudí, Picasso, Miró, Catalan Modernism, and the avant-garde of the twentieth century. -Certificate of completion for the Montserrat 2026 course, organized by the University of Girona and the Monastery of Montserrat. -Advanced Certificates in English, French and German languages. -Member of Aguicat (Association of Licensed Tour Guides of Catalonia), ensuring professional standards and expertise. I don't drive in my tours, but I can arrange private transportation with a Premium car or van.

Overview of your Barcelona tour

On this tour, we’ll explore Park Güell, originally designed by Gaudí as a garden-city inspired by English models. Though the project faced challenges, it became a public park in 1926. We’ll visit the monumental zone, take in stunning panoramic views of Barcelona, and explore Casa-Museu Gaudí, once his home and now a museum displaying his personal objects and designs. Afterward, we can discover the nearby Gràcia district, a vibrant neighborhood with a unique, bohemian atmosphere. Once an independent town, Gràcia is now known for its charming plazas, lively café culture, and boutique shopping. If you're looking for 100% local clothing stores with unique designs for adults and children, I’ll take you there! You don’t need to worry about tickets for the different venues, as they are included in the price of this tour.

Anna was a great tour guide and gave us a good tour of Park Guell, even in a downpour. She was very knowledgeable, gave clear explanations and brought her iPad to share historic photos. Anna was also quite helpful before the tour by giving us several restaurant recommendations. Her recommended restaurants were excellent. I will use Anne again when my wife and I return to Barcelona.

If I could give this tour a higher rating I would. This was our second day with Anna. The first day’s tour was a foundation for today. She related what we learned about Gaudi’s designs to Ppark Gull and Sagrada Família. She provided the history behind both projects. Her explanations of the depiction of Biblical stories (nativity and crucifixition) on the opposite outside walls of the church; the differences in the colors of the opposing stained glass walls (morning and evening); just all the wonderful details made the experience so much richer than when I had visited on my own. We finished with the Hospital Sant Pau. Another amazing place designed by Gaudi’s mentor. By the end of this day nit only had we seen and learned so much, we felt like we were with an extremely knowledgeable and warm friend.

If there were something higher than 5, that would be more accurate. Anna is not only incredibly knowledgeable, she has an enthusiasm that shines through. Professional, friendly, thoughtful - and knows her stuff.

Anna was an excellent guide — very informative, interesting, warm and friendly, and she readily customized the tour to my specific interests. We toured Park Guell with a focus on the Gaudi sights, and Anna told me all about the development of the park and explained the history and purpose of each of the park's architectural and natural features. Then we explored the Gracia neighborhood, where Anna gave me a great intro to its history and culture and the life there today. She even took me to the perfect shop when I revealed I needed to buy a baby gift, and we ended with a fun visit to Gracia's local food market (which I left with yummy lunch items in hand). Thanks to Anna's insights, enthusiasm, and terrific personality, it was a wonderful morning and I enthusiastically recommend Anna as a guide.
